Fox Movie Channel, formerly fXM, is a television channel that concentrates on showing movies uncut and commercial-free. Fox Movie Channel mostly shows movies from 20th Century Fox's vast library from the mid-1930s to the 1990s, including some television movies. Both pan and scan and letterbox versions are shown whenever both versions are available. Original programming consists primarily of commentary about the movies.
The channel was launched on October 31, 1994 as fXM - Movies from Fox. On March 1, 2000 the name was changed to Fox Movie Channel. FMC's primary competitors are Turner Classic Movies, which mostly shows movies from the MGM, RKO and Warner Brothers libraries, and until 2002 American Movie Classics (later AMC).
